Whitby Wharf, Samuel James Whitby

I found a listing for a Whitby Wharf which is close to Red Lion Wharf. I wonder it it's just a co-incidence?

"South out of Upper Thames Street at No.79, east of Three Crane Stairs (Lockie, 1810 and 1816).

Not named in the maps."


In response to a query as to what some notation meant, I now know that 12 means that Samuel James Whitby lived on Mount Street, Diss, Norfolk.

I called Barbara Ann Saunders (nee Whitby) to ask about Arthur Samuel Collins Whitby as i'm still trying to work out whether he may still be alive. Apparently he used to run a hotel in Richmond (possibly Kew) on the river Thames.
